The recognition and acceptance of a genocide, and mass murder of nations is not to merely point a finger at a tyrant guilty of those crimes. It is acceptance of facts and truths with the ultimate goal to mend bridges between the races. It is not to merely condemn but to create the first step towards world peace.

I may not have a country with boundaries, but my country is in me. My country is in my soul and in my heart. I am Assyria.
